Overview

Longitudinal trial examines changes in sedentary behavior and physical activity in children with cerebral palsy, suggesting tailored interventions are needed.

Key Points

  • This research aims to analyze changes in sedentary behavior and physical activity over time in children with cerebral palsy.
  • Longitudinal design with 45 children aged 2-11 years and 108 assessments.
  • Physical activity and sedentary behavior measured using ActiGraph accelerometers.
  • Linear mixed-effects models analyzed effects of age on sedentary time and physical activity levels.
  • Sedentary time increased by 0.79% per year (P = .0094).
  • Light physical activity decreased by 1.17% per year (P < .0001).
  • Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity increased by 0.33% per year (P = .0003).
